Canine Musculoskeletal Support By Standard Process | Strong Body, Healthy Joints

By Dr. Candy Akers

I can say in this review right off the bat, that Canine Musculoskeletal Support is the most effective joint support treatment that I have found. This review is based on my personal and professional experience of using this product on all kinds of situations over a period of 8 years.

There are a lot of options out there, but this whole-food nutritional supplement supports your pets mobility in a ton of ways. If your dog is suffering from arthritis or other joint issues, you should order this product now. 

I always have a large bottle on hand because I can tell a difference right away if I run out of this product.

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

Special Information:

A 1/8 tsp scoop is included with the small canine powder bottles, and a 1/2 tsp scoop is included with the large canine powder bottles.

Since these supplements are made from super foods, they are very "rich". This allows us to use small doses, but sometimes when adding a brand new savory food pets can experience a soft stool for 12-24 hours. This situation balances itself but I have found that using a gradual taper greatly reduces the chance of loose stool. 

Caution:This product is processed in a facility that manufactures other products containing soy, milk, egg, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Please consult the actual product label for the most accurate product information.

My 9 year old Corgi was suffering from some muscle soreness in his shoulder and neck. Started this powder after doing the vet's instructions and he seems to be moving great and very happy. Going to order a bigger bottle. Great stuff.

This product has been very helpful to my 14.5 yo dog. She was very stiff prior to incorporating this supplement, and now she moves so much better. I have used many Standard Process for myself for several years, but this was our first canine supplement. I wish I would have had them for other senior pets.

Questions & Answers

What are the side effects of Canine Musculoskeletal Support?

Since these nutritional supplements are made from food, there is little to no risk of side effects. The only side effect I’ve ever seen is diarrhea if the pet gets a gigantic dose. For example, if a pet eats a whole bottle. If I had a dollar for every time one of my pets ate a whole bottle, I’d have a pretty full piggy bank. Since pets love these products so much, we recommend keeping them in a cabinet or someplace that your pet cannot get to.

How much Canine Musculoskeletal Support should my dog take?
  • 1-10 lbs 1/8 teaspoon once per day
  • 11-20 lbs 1/8 teaspoon twice per day

  • 41-60 lbs ½ teaspoon twice per day
  • 61-80 lbs ¾ teaspoon twice per day
  • > 80 lbs 1 teaspoon twice per day
